This article was shortlisted for the Plus New Writers Award 2006, an international competition pitting mathematical writers against each other in a fight to the death. The challenge was to write about a mathematical topic in an informative and entertaining way. Okay, so I didn't get the grand prize. But I did get the certificate.

I believed I would find comfort with an off-the-shelf model. Trouble was, I had learnt enough of the hardware game to realise I would not find the comfort I sought.

The conclusion of the series on how the web site Electron Drift came to be, but be warned there are no big fireworks or anything like that. What went wrong at the end (nothing obviously as I make no mistakes) and what was learnt.
